EPL Odds: Manchester City a slight road favorite at Liverpool in key clash

Manchester City has seemingly broken out of a 1-1-4 slump with two straight blowout wins in Premier League play, but City will be put to the test on Sunday going on the road to face Liverpool.

Liverpool appeared to be headed toward a disastrous season after getting off to a 6-7-4 start through 17 games, but since then the club has done nothing but climb the standings. Unbeaten since Dec. 21 in league play, Liverpool is 7-0-2 over its last nine EPL games and is coming off an impressive 2-0 win at Southampton.

Despite its recent success, Liverpool is still a +190 underdog at home against Manchester City according to sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. Man City is going off at +140 to win while a draw between the two clubs would pay +250. Liverpool is 7-0-5 in its last 12 home games against Manchester City.
